The One Show celebrated the Harper family’s return to our screens last night with a virtual reunion between on-screen parents Robert Lindsay (Ben), Zoë Wanamaker (Susan) and their TV son, Kris Marshall (Nick).

However, Wanamaker failed to keep up the programme’s wholesome image when she swore live on air.

After host Alex Jones jokingly introduced the trio as "dysfunctional", Wanamaker defied the watershed when explaining what made My Family different from other British sitcoms.

The 71-year-old award-winning actress said: "The first [episode], I thought that was brilliant writing.

"And also, we had Baz Taylor as our director, who was brilliant at editing it and putting it all together."The great thing about it was Fred Barron, who wrote it initially, and that's why I loved it.

“It wasn't what I thought was English humour, which was t**s and a**e."

Neither Jones nor co-host Alex Scott picked up on it, but Robert could be seen sniggering in his video feed.
